Despite continuous pressure from regulators, pay-to-win microtransactions are, unfortunately, still an issue for FIFA 23. The loot boxes come in the shape of player-filled pack of cards inside FIFA 23 Coins popular Ultimate Team mode. You can purchase FIFA Points in bundles, starting from PS0.79 to get 100 FIFA Points and increasing to a staggering PS79.99 for 12,000 FIFA Points. The Premium Gold Pack costs 150 FIFA Points. It includes 12 gold-rated players , or consumables that are able to be used in-game or sold via marketplaces for transfer.
Regarding the company's policies, EA told Eurogamer that FUT's Lootboxes "are an integral part of FIFA that players like," and that "giving players the ability to buy on their own if they choose to are fair." It doesn't have plans to change its policy towards "surprise mechanics" unless laws are passed that force it to. This doesn't make it any better however, it's worth mentioning that due to some of those laws , you can currently set weekly limits on FIFA Points and packs being opened in Ultimate Team, and see the possibility of getting the highest-rated player prior to opening a pack. FIFA 23 also features time-limited Preview Packs where you can see what's inside a pack before you choose to purchase it. However, this currently only works for a single card pack which refreshes every day.
FIFA 23 is a bombastic finale to the series (under the current title at the very least) with a definite emphasis on the theatrical. FUT Moments Action Replays, as well as viral-friendly modifications to gameplay like Power Shots make it a better-thought-out, memorable sport of simulated football with intentional defense as well as lots of goals and drama. But the EA's Spartan approach to the modes that don't make money ensures buy FIFA 23 Coins is an all-too-familiar version of the previous editions, and Ultimate Team's blatant focus on microtransactions has taken all the fun out of the game.
